Grade and dimensions work together
The material designation does not define the elbow angle, reducer length or other fitting dimensions. State the dimensional requirements separately.
Straightforward enquiries.
Well-defined fittings.
Prepare carbon steel fitting requirements with the grade, dimensions, thickness and inspection scope stated clearly. The catalogue currently identifies ASTM A234 WPB as a grade reference.
GRADE OVERVIEW
Start with the complete designation
The grade references below help structure an enquiry. They are not a statement of stock, equivalence or suitability for a particular service.
| Grade / detail | What to specify |
|---|---|
| ASTM A234 WPB | State the specification, edition where required and grade. |
| Pipe connection | Identify every end size and wall thickness or schedule. |
| Additional conditions | Include any special testing, heat-treatment or marking requirements. |
SPECIFICATION DETAILS
Make the material requirement clear
Keep material identity and acceptance criteria together.
Document the required condition
Include the required manufacturing, heat-treatment and inspection conditions from the project specification. Avoid relying on an abbreviated purchase description.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Before you specify carbon steel
Does WPB define the size or schedule?
No. The grade reference is part of the material specification. Supply the fitting type, size, thickness and dimensional requirements separately.
Does this page confirm stock or delivery time?
No. Availability and delivery depend on the exact fitting, grade, dimensions, quantity and documentation requirements. These must be confirmed in the quotation.
Which fitting sizes are available in this material?
Send the required fitting type, end sizes and wall thicknesses. Availability is reviewed for that combination; a material family does not define a universal size range.
What certificates should I request?
Specify the certificate type, material traceability, inspection and testing required by the project. Include supplementary requirements with the initial enquiry.
